Your points are well taken and I agree with them. Therein lies the problem. Many Republican FReepers don't like Roy Moore, Alan Keyes and probably not the Thomas More Law Center either. As hard as it is for them to approve of the government starving Terri to death the cult of personality is greater than the Constitution or natural rights in their eyes. The people you quote must be wrong or else the Bushes would be wrong and that can't be.

I think that's a BIG part of it.

Also, the repetition of the phrase "rule of law," within the context of "the judge has spoken." It's the libs who have so many Republicans conditioned to think that "checks and balances" means that the courts have the final word, and are supposed to check and balance the legislative and executive branches of government. This concept has been subconsciously absorbed, and later cited, by a great number of people on the right side of the aisle. However, nothing could be further from the truth: that our Constitutional government is composed of three co-equal branches, each of which possess powers to check and balance the other two.

Unfortunately for Terri, Jeb Bush refuses to use his executive powers to check and balance the judiciary. This obsevation is not bashing - it's an accurate and dispassionate assessment of the facts.
